The Ministry of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, through the Maskan Program, has announced the release of guideline booklets for reserving residential plots of land in 18 new cities at various levels (medium, distinguished, and most distinguished). The booking period runs from September 14 to November 13, 2025, with reservations available online through the program’s official website.
The offering requires applicants to be Egyptian citizens aged at least 21 years old, and they must not have previously been allocated land for themselves or their families in any of the earlier offerings. The ministry clarified that allocation priority will be given to those who commit to paying the highest percentage of the land’s total value. If applicants submit equal payment percentages, a public lottery will be held to determine the winner.
